Interchangeable sensor device for a functional near-infrared spectroscopy system

Abstract

An interchangeable sensor device for a functional near­infrared spectroscopy system (fNIRS) is a non-invasive device intended to detect changes in the concentration of hemoglobin species on any body surface area. The device includes a plurality of measurement units having different elastic configurations, each intended to be adapted to a specific area of the body, and a control unit for controlling any of the measurement units. Each of the measurement units is equipped with a first eonneetor and the control unit is equipped with a seeond connector, which eonnectors allow the control unit to be interchangeably connected to any of the measurement units.
